Assigning permissions using Created by or data field

Hello all.

I have a clunky question. I have a PowerApps form that is connected to a SharePoint list. The user fills out the form and OnSuccess, a flow creates a PDF and saves the PDF in a SharePoint library on the same site. There are special permissions on the site where only special levels (i.e. Associate's and above) can access. There is a field on the form that indicates that the document is sensitive so permissions need to be broken to only allow a special SP perm group access. I have been able to accomplish this using SP Designer.

I am experiencing an issue and wonder if there's a possibility to tweak the permissions such that the creator of a document, even if not an associate, would be given access to that document. I would also like to assign permissions using 2 people pickers fields that are listed as POCs for the document.

I have been able to break permissions at the document level but not assign them to this user and/or the Point of Contact listed on the POC field.

Please let me know if this is a possibility.

Thank you for your time.
